| Now, I can look at your face e’rrday.
I went to the girls basketball game and they made it look more fun than the gangly sweaty guys I saw play my freshman year. Then again, it might have been my 16-year-old point of view but anyways, these girls made me want to play, too! Even though they lost that night to Rock Canyon and there were some tense emotions after the game, I was still impressed by this team. They would fly across the court and I loved watching the hardcore falls. It looked like a lot of fun and I wanted to join in. Seniors Grace Shea and Lauren Dalton lead a team of promising underclassmen. Go girls basketball!

“I wish I had a ton of roses to give to every single one, but I just don’t.” This quote from this season’s bachelor, Brad Womack, shows his inner turmoil over his choice of future bride. This chump, while looking like the model he is, in the hot tub with his 20 lady prospects also seems to have difficulty forming multi-syllabic words. I would say the show itself is the most unrealistic, unpractical and unhealthy method to finding your soulmate but, despite this, I cannot stop watching. Even worse than Brad himself are the girls who sign up. I hope they do not seriously believe this show is anything more than entertainment for the masses. If you are willing to risk your own corruption and loss of brain cells, join me in watching this season. Putting yourself out there like Brad, might help you find bucket loads of amusement! I’ll leave you with my favorite quote of Brad’s: “I’m ready to open my heart to the women.”

Bob Ross’ painting class is the best because he made painting a spectator sport. His soothing voice makes inanimate objects interesting because his trees are always happy or the bushes lonely. You never know what he is doing but he always has his end result in mind. Every seemingly random brushstroke ends up adding to the overall painting. I enjoy his eccentric look in addition to his impressive creations. He made the afro cool again for middle-aged white man. Some have even said he painted with brush strokes of joy.
